Like so many other people on this website - i too have traveled through the medical profession from one doctor to another and have had no success getting to the bottom of all of this. I am so sick of it. I started on Advair 250/50 about 8 months ago and my life has basically gone down hill from there. I have been to Neurologists, Gastro doctors, had MRI's, Upper & Lower GI's, ultersounds and many blood tests. I am happy to report that I went off of Advair about 3 weeks ago - but my symptoms have not gone away. I will say that they are getting better. There were many times that I thought I was dieing or would rather have died than lived the way I have been living. I know that I need to get another doctors opinion but I dont want to go through more testing.
I am 33 years old and would really like my life back. I have a husband and two children. We are a very active family and I need like I have lost control of my body. I want to be able to enjoy my family again without all the aches and pains.

I was basically not functioning for 3 - 4 months of my treatment during the worst of it. My legs would give out on me. I ended up in the emergency room because my whole left side went numb. They told me that it was all in my head and to check with my neurologists. What a joke. My whole body felt like I had the flu all the time.

I still have the bloated stomach - painful at times
fatigue
heartburn and reflux
weight gain across the abdomen
pain/aches across my upper chest area, shoulder and back

If anyone has had any success getting rid of there side effects I would love to hear from you. Also if anyone has had success with alternate medicine - please let us know.

Wow! I've spent so much time and money at Dr's, specialists for tests to end up with absolutely no idea what is going on with me.
On my own, I decided to look into the medication I was taking ... and ta da!!! Here it is in big bold print! Thank you everyone ... and for this site!
I'd like to go back and just say a few words to all those Dr's that just laughed me out of their office and back in to my own world of frustration.
AND IF ANYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU STOP TAKING ADVAIR (WHICH I DID) ... DO THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY, DO YOU GAIN YOUR NICE FIGURE BACK AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE???

Advair 500 DID relieve my asthma symptoms, excellent!
But with that....
Huge bloated stomach almost painful sometimes
Aching joints/stiffness
Severe Fatigue
Heartburn and reflux (on meds for that now!)
Significant weight gain, especially across the abdomen
Pain/ache across my upper chest area
Puffy face
Slow healing for something as simple as a scratch.
